Yesterdays Lady Songtext
von David Blue

Your leaving me was something of a joke
Later I laughed and I laughed
To think that this love I wished to hold
Was nothing more than that
It took me a while to see it clear
To remove the blinds from my eyes
But having done this I no longer cared
Nor recalled why I tried

Mama and Papa take care of you
After all you′re their baby
Whether you win or whether you lose
Yesterday's lady


You came back behind false smiles
Hiding questions and answers and lies
Slept in my bed covers pulled round your head
How could I sleep on the couch outside
True I was hungry for all of you
True I had had a hard time
I didn′t deserve to be put in reserve
You never learned how to be kind

Mama and Papa take care of you
After all you're their baby
Whether you win or whether you lose
Yesterday's lady

I hear that you′re living down by the sea
With a man who works with his hands
You′re building a boat to sail away
Perhaps never to land
Your face it's a mask that covers the scars
Your smile a shield from the truth
Your newly found home won′t last for long
If you don't change neither will you

Mama and Papa take care of you
After all you′re their baby
Whether you win or whether you lose
Yesterday's lady
